In these photos It's mounted on a long drill bit at the model mounting point in the center
for studio lighting. The drill bit is gaf taped to a 4ft C-stand and black gaffer tape covering up the a/c power cord.

The models come with a moon like base stand so it's about 4 inches in the air,
when mounted on it.

Hi Chris,
welcome to the forum. That looks like a very nice job. it is always good to see someone bringing the ol' girl back to life.
I am still in the beginning phase of my Galactica build, but love every minute that I invest into it.

my only regret is that I didn't know about/apply the "accurization" kits available.

the miniature photography session was really fun.
we played the galactica soundtrack cd while shooting...really "geeking" it!

Wayne's in the middle of building my Revell re-issue Raider with a "studio model" paint scheme and of course, also with lighting. We're doing something a little different for the lighting so I can't wait to see it when its done.
I'll be posting photos when it's ready.
